AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'By day, wizards rule the world. At night, warlocks seek to destroy it. Now, one boy will challenge them both. 

'Eli never wanted to be a rebel. Stuck in a ongoing war between the wizards and the warlocks, the community often went hungry, homeless and helpless, and Eli wants to put a stop to that. 

'Traveling to the wizardry academy —Terra Magicae— Eli finds himself in the mysterious land of the wizards. Full of lush landscapes and magical marvels, Terra Magicae is more wondrous than he could ever imagine… and more dangerous.

'At first, his struggles to fit in seem ordinary. But the more he questions the wizards, the more he suspects a sinister purpose behind their bizarre rules and tests. For a dark secret lies at the heart of this mystical land, one so terrible it threatens not only the students at the Academy but the lives of everyone Eli loves.

'To save them all, Eli must step into the midst of the battle between the wizards and warlocks and defy both sides. He must become the rebel he was always meant to be.'
